Heard back from the seller. He reports that the serial number is 33922 with 30" barrels. (Nothing about the name/address on the rib, patent numbers, etc. I date it to mid-1896:

1896: 33801 - 34200. - . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 400

Turns out I already had that gun from a few years ago....a British site: Here are my notes in the database (Note - no mention of Cyril Adams in the original ad; note the price it sold for in 2012. Cyril could have bought it of course from Gavin in 2012 one supposes - I don't have his date of death unfortunately):

On Gavin GardinersApril 18th2012 Spring Fine Modern and Vintage Sporting Guns, Ive saved the best for last. This E.M Reilly may just be the sleeper of the sale.

12 gauge E.M. Reilly double barrel shotgun at Gavin Gardiners

Lot 180: E. M. Reilly & Co. 12-bore sidelock ejector, No. 33922
30-inch damascus barrels with 2 1/2-inch chambers, about improved cylinder and full choke boring, dolls head extension, the frame, back action bar lock and top lever with bouquet and scroll engraving and retaining much original hardening colour, 14 3/4-inch well figured stock, 6lb. 9oz., nitro proof. Bores/walls: Rt: 734/26 & Lt: 736/26. Estimate: 1,800-2,400
Pros: Looks like it could be very original. Good bores, good walls, damascus bbls, excellent maker, nice weight.
Cons: Not sure of the quality of the gun would have to see more pics. Wood & bbls could be refinished, same with toplever & triggerguard. Again, would have to see more pics.
This is the kind of double that makes me drool. Its probably from around 1890 -1895 and it has that great vintage look. It looks like it has escape the British refinish mill, too. Sold for2600
